Go to www.churchofuniversallife.com become a legal minister for free in 3 minutes and make up your own religious doctrine.Do anything you want that's socially unacceptable and when someone calls you a name,tell them that they are perpetrating a hate crime upon you and your religious belief system.You can become an instant protected minority.

Sounds like what the Church of Scientology does.

What does God do when Deuce prays for Red Wings to win tonight but some other gambler prays for Sharks? Does he look at their bankrolls and guides the puck to the appropriate net?

Actually, he take s bribes. Turns out the televangelists were right. Who knew?

I am atheistic, I do not like organized religion either. There are alot of them out there, I would say the best is one that does what religion is supposed to do, make you feel good through peace and love for fellow man. Most religions do exactly the opposite & breed hate & intolerance so good luck.
It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. … Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Everything falls into place if it's God's will.

To paraphrase the late great George Carlin: "If it's God's will, and he's going to do what he wants anyway, then whats the point in praying? What's the use of having a divine plan if every shmuck with a 2 dollar prayer book can come along and fvck it up?"

atheism is borderline satanism.

Some nifty opinions made in this thread...This one was not bad...

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"

However, Pavy, yours was not... Become a vegetarian. When was the last time you heard a vegetarian steal a hamburger. Illogical at best...Yes, many have killed in the name of God. Not believing in God just means that your sins will lie elsewhere(so to speak).

Might it be said that those that have no fear of God or justice are perhaps even better equipped to commit some heinous acts???

[Jonah]

My soul's on its own when this life is up. My remains will be mixed with foul line chalk and laid out on some baseball field and that's good enough for me.

Do you really feel this way?

You have to admire a god that tells his people to spread the word with fire and sword so they can have 72 virgins when they die for him. I always wondered when a female dies does she get 72 virgin boys? Maybe JJ can apply for that job.

Not necessarily, Christians can do bad things because then they can confess their sins and be forgiven. And the "fear of God" did not stop an army of priests from molesting children.

Why do people need a mythical being in the sky to be a good person?
What is simpler than 'treat people the way you would like to be treated'?

u r comparing god to santa claus? that is a fairy tale. well u cannot believe because uve prob never seen the healings for urself, i understand u think its sum myth but its not. ive seen ppl who couldnt walk before be healed. u cant witness these miracles unless u r living for God. he doesnt wonder around the dark world of the wicked n work miracles. that doesnt mean u have to stay there forever either. its ur choice.

They're both fairy tales brother. And those "miracles" you speak of are hoaxes.

I'm afraid I'm not the one in the dark, you are. You live in a fictional world of superstition and myth. There is no hate, no evil, no darkness about me. I simply choose to live my life based on what is real. Logic and truth.

Not what I was saying, but looking at the world we live in TODAY. Let's not go back and get into all those discussions...A person would have to be either real crazy or have a real crazy religion to think murder or torture would be condoned by the God THEY believe in.

I'm betting most serial killers and tyrants don't have a daily dialogue with a personal God. - mythical or otherwise.

On the contrary. Many tyrants (Kings, Presidents, Popes, etc.) have killed millions because they were "doing God's work." GW was doing "God's work" when he invaded the Middle East, while at the same time Muslim extremists were doing "God's work" by blowing people up.

So Atheists are just overall great people all the time, is that what I supposed to gather? Back to his original point: Atheists don't kill in the name of God. So What?

No, atheists can be assholes too, but being one does not make you any better or worse a person IMO.

Atheists don't kill in the name of God, which gives them one less reason to kill. Pretty much the biggest reason in the history of mankind to kill actually.

People are always going to kill each other over jealousy, rage, mental instability, etc. no matter what religion they are. We don't need to add to the death toll because "the invisible man that I believe in tells me different things than the invisible man that you believe in"

How can u claim it is a hoax? Have u ever been to a healing event and seen god work a miracle by healing people? its obvious uve never made an effort to do so. truth is not wut u think it is, the only truth is thru god ur only deceiving urself if u think ur living a life of truth. like i said satan pretends to be the angel of light, he puts on an innocent face but behind it is lies. we can never kno truth by ourselves, we need gods help to bring truth to light.

[THE PROFIT]

Atheism. Be an atheist like me and you should all live in happiness. What was the last time you heard an atheist commit a crime in the name of God?

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

American Cancer Society:

Available scientific evidence does not support claims that faith healing can cure cancer or any other disease. Even the "miraculous" cures at the French shrine of Lourdes, after careful study by the Catholic Church, do not outnumber the historical percentage of spontaneous remissions seen among people with cancer. However, faith healing may promote peace of mind, reduce stress, relieve pain and anxiety, and strengthen the will to live.

Science is real. What you're spouting is not.

That is quiet possibly the dumbest fuking statement that could possibly be made. I hope you are joking, although this isn't funny or amusing. Because if not you must be a kid or someone who is just ignorant of anything intelligent to say or conversational commentary.

I am atheistic. If I don't believe in all knowing all seeing authoritave powers of the universe, why the fuk would I worship it's evil adversary.

Think a moment of what you're saying before you say it, you will not get far in life sounding or lookinglike a complete idiot.

science isnt needed to prove god. ur deceived by satan, sorry to say it, he thinks of evry way for a person to avoid God such as the argument ur tryin to use here. also i hope u don get the wrong idea about god, he is not the beast u think he is. if ull accept him and jesus his son, ull be forgiven. its not too late.

I realize that you are too blinded by religious zealotry to understand that the argument you're making is a huge cop out, and thats what makes arguing with religious people so frustrating.

I make a simple, logic statement and you respond with "thats because of the devil." I cannot argue against fiction and insanity. Also, stop painting me as a devil-worshipping Jesus hater. I never called "God" a "beast" because I do not believe that your God exists.

I don't hate Jesus, I think he was probably a decent guy who did some good things, but he's not the son of God. Why do you believe that he is? Because human beings wrote in a book that he was?
